Labels add that special touch to your creations. Whether it’s a decorative tag attached with twine or ribbon, or a wrap around band, you’ll want to tell others what’s in your soap and who made it. I provide samples to get you started.

Lemon balm has been shown to clam nerves when applied topically, making it great for irritated, antsy, itchy skin, and for cold sores. An all around uplifting and gentle soap.

Natural soapmaking is like baking a cake.

Learn the basics and beautiful things will come.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been making soap for a while, there are always new things to learn about adding herbs for medicinal purposes or to create beautiful colors in soap, how essential oils come together for amazing scents, or new techniques for swirling and layering.

If you’re starting with absolutely no knowledge about making soap, I’ve covered what soap is scientifically, what you need and why, and how each ingredient comes together to give the soap different properties.

I walk you through each step of the process, breaking it down into easy to follow steps, dividing ingredients and steps into simple categories. You’ll be walked through tutorials for soapmaking and then techniques like embossing, swirling and layering. Recipes will start simple and slowly become more challenging to give you the creativity options that you crave.

Do you have questions about lye? I teach exactly what it is and how you can use it safely, without concern. Safety is always a priority!

What people are saying about The Natural Soapmaking Book for Beginners…

As a firm believer in making things at home with natural and wholesome ingredients, I love that Kelly’s book only highlights natural colorants and scents. She’s taken the guess work out of which plant matters will give you which colors and her attention to safety sets this book as my number one reference on making homemade soap in my homestead kitchen and will be in yours too.

Melissa K. Norris

The lessons and step-by-step tutorials will take the mystery out of soap making so that beginners can proceed with confidence. But there’s much here for experienced soap makers as well. I’ve been making soap for many years, but I’ve rarely gone beyond the basics. Kelly’s new book inspires me to be more experimental and artistic in my soap making!

Susan Vinskofski

The Natural Soapmaking Book for Beginners is a valuable resource that confidently guides the beginner soapmaker through that first batch of soap and into the wonderful world of creative natural soapmaking!

Heather Harris

The Natural Soap Making Book for Beginners is so much more than a recipe book for new soap makers. It encompasses essential techniques for working with natural herbs, clay, salts, and essential oils to protect their integrity, fragrance, and color in the complex chemical reactions of the soap vat. Ingredients are expensive and you don’t want to waste them with experiments that end up in the re-batch bin. Using the tested recipes in Kelly Cable’s book the beginning soap maker will find immediate success in the soap making process, while the advance soap maker will discover valuable and creative techniques to explore.

This is the perfect book for anyone who wants to start making their own homemade soaps! Kelly explains every detail and makes the process approachable for everyone. The recipes are easy to follow and full of natural and herbal ingredients – my favorite kind.

With gorgeous and inspiring photography, helpful charts, clear tutorials, and creative and enticing recipes, this book will inspire you to make your own high-quality, natural soaps! Easy step-by-step instructions lead you through the soap making process with clarity. We especially love the addition of herbs and spices for their color and therapeutic properties –familiar kitchen spices like turmeric and cinnamon as well as the plants growing in our yards and gardens, like burdock leaf and calendula!
